Eggshell conspicuousness is related to paternal brood patch vascularisation in the American thrashers

Original language description

Conspicuous blue-green egg colouration has been of interest to scientists and naturalists for more than a hundred years; however, the function of this trait has never been fully understood and has spurred extensive debate. The American thrashers exhibitgreat variation in egg colouration and patterning, and also show variation in male brood patch development. A recent hypothesis suggests that conspicuous egg colouration has evolved as the product of sexual conflict, where females may create conspicuouseggs to obtain greater amounts of male care, either in the form of male incubation or incubation assistance to prevent their eggs from being vulnerable to visually orienting predators and brood parasites. The American thrashers, a genus comprising of 10species, exhibits striking variation in egg colouration and patterning, and also show variation in male brood patch development. By using avian visual modelling, I show that blue-green chroma of American thrasher eggs is positively relate
